Siddhartha Poem by Jaswant Zafar

In no time
he was filled with noise
When he interlaced the inner noise
with meditation
the entire noise within
transformed into decanted silence
He became Buddha

Silence spread like Ocean
All colors for it seemed transparent
To silence each word meant the same
and all meanings appeared to be of the same word

Silence
saw the universe in every particle
and the universe entire appeared like a particle

Silence smiled
when it heard laughter
Silence smiled
when it heard the dirge
On the surface of silence
the poem emerged like a quiet bubble
swam on the surface of silence
sans a streak
He became the Word
